​​​WTI rally is taking a breather ahead of FOMC ​

​WTI’s over 16% rally since August to a new ten-month high at $92.38 per barrel ran out of steam slightly below the October and November 2022 highs at $92.70 to $92.95 ahead of today’s US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. ​

The fall through the August-to-September uptrend line at $90.92 put the mid-November 2022 high at $89.39 back on the map. Below it potential support can be spotted at the 5 September high at $87.60. ​Immediate resistance sits between Monday and Tuesday’s lows at $89.91 to $90.28.

​Sugar #11 trades in new 12-year highs ​

Front month sugar futures continue their ascent and have reached a new near 12-year high at 27.85. If overcome, the 161.8% Fibonacci extension of the June-to-July advance, taken from the August low, at 28.85 would be in focus.

​Minor support below the 12 September high at 27.42 is seen along the August-to-September uptrend line at 26.92 and also at the April peak at 26.81. ​Immediate upside pressure will be maintained while Monday’s low at 26.71 underpins.

​Lumber nears June low ​

Front month lumber futures continue their descent towards their 49,170.40 June low, a fall through which would have the March trough at 49,144.70 in its sights. ​Minor resistance sits at the 49,659.50 August low with further resistance seen along the July-to-September downtrend line at 50,260.

​While the last reaction high – a high on a daily candlestick chart which is higher than the one to its left and right – at Thursday’s 50,881.90 isn’t bettered, downside pressure should prevail.
